Research suggests protein intake significantly impacts cognitive function. Proteins act as the building blocks of neurons, influencing information processing within the brain [1]. Additionally, protein is vital for neurotransmitter production, chemicals crucial for memory, mood, and learning [2]. Studies also show protein supports the maintenance of the myelin sheath, which insulates nerves and facilitates faster signal transmission [3].

Liquid protein can help the formation of neurons, neurotransmitter productions and maintenance of myelin sheath.
